Land for Sale in Surrey, BC

Land for sale in Surrey ranges from standard residential lots to multi-acre parcels in the Agricultural Land Reserve. There are currently about 194 land listings in the city, starting around $850K for buildable residential lots. Development-ready land near the SkyTrain corridor commands higher prices — a 2.3-acre parcel in Fleetwood was recently listed for a 153-unit mixed-use project.

Zoning is the most important factor when buying land in Surrey. The City of Surrey has multiple zoning districts, and what you can build depends entirely on the designation. Some lots are zoned for single-family only, while others allow duplexes, townhomes, or mixed-use buildings. Properties in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) have strict limitations — you generally cannot subdivide or develop beyond farm use without ALR Commission approval, which is rarely granted.

Cloverdale and South Surrey have the most ALR land, which keeps some parcels affordable but limits what buyers can do with them. The areas around future SkyTrain stations in Fleetwood are seeing rezoning applications that could significantly increase land values. AG. Song checks zoning, ALR status, servicing requirements, and development cost charges on every land listing before recommending it to buyers.

Newton Land for Sale

Newton has some of the most affordable residential lots in Surrey, especially in areas zoned for single-family development. Older homes on wide lots (50-60 feet) are sometimes purchased for land value alone — the buyer tears down the existing home and builds new. West Newton lots near King George Boulevard see occasional rezoning applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does land cost in Surrey?

Buildable residential lots in Surrey start around $850K. Prices depend on zoning, lot size, and location. Fleetwood and South Surrey command the highest prices due to development potential and demand. Newton lots are the most affordable. ALR farmland is cheaper per acre but has strict use restrictions.

What is the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR)?

The ALR is BC-wide farmland protected from development. About 30% of Surrey's land area is in the ALR, mainly in Cloverdale, South Surrey, and Hazelmere. You cannot subdivide, rezone, or build non-farm structures on ALR land without approval from the Agricultural Land Commission, which is rarely given.

Can I subdivide my lot in Surrey?

It depends on the zoning. Some Surrey lots are large enough to subdivide into two or more parcels, but you need to meet minimum lot size requirements, frontage rules, and servicing standards. ALR land generally cannot be subdivided. Contact the City of Surrey planning department or have your REALTOR check before buying.

What are development cost charges in Surrey?

Development cost charges (DCCs) are fees the City of Surrey charges when you develop or redevelop land. These fees pay for roads, sewers, parks, and other infrastructure. DCCs can add $30,000-$80,000+ to the cost of building a new home depending on the zone and lot size. Factor these into your budget.

Where is the best land investment in Surrey right now?

Land near the future SkyTrain stations in Fleetwood has the strongest development upside. The City of Surrey is rezoning areas around the stations for higher density, which could significantly increase land values. Cloverdale Town Centre also has redevelopment potential as the population grows.
